Unlike the global internet, which enables virtually the entire world to connect, social networks have created very large, localised communities with far more limited international interaction.

Indeed they are. Facebook is legendary for allowing a lot of users to enter information into Facebook, but not to be able to take it out again. At the same time there's a problem as google can't search Facebook.
It will be interesting however, to see how the new Facebook Connect will work out, which is an attempt from Facebook to open up their walled garden - see http://bit.ly/ZKgwj

@Joao: yes, I definitely think that local communities can be seen as online communities. In fact, according to Wikipedia, here online communities are described as:
"Virtual communities depend upon social interaction and exchange between users online. This emphasizes the reciprocity element of the unwritten social contract between community members. Web 2.0 is essentially characterized by virtual communities such as Flickr, Facebook, and Del.icio.us. A similar trend is starting to emerge within businesses where online or virtual communities are taking hold. These communities can be organizational, regional or topical depending on the business."
"Organizational, regional or topical" - I think we can add technical to this list. Btw. it seems like wiki use the terms "online" and "virtual" interchangeably.
PS. Can anyone teach me how to make comments on Diigo?
Why don´t comments automatically follow each other from oldest to newest? Mine seems to all be stuck together no matter what I do.
Peter, have you installed the Diigo toolbar? If you haven't, do it. With the Diigo toolbar you can make comments, highlight, bookmark sites, add sticky notes, etc.
There is arguably a commonality therefore between what a facilitator might do in a face to face meeting, with what they might do in an online meeting such as this. Identifying the potentially alienating aspects of a discussion and helping the group to negotiate a common appreciation of those topics
Facilitator´s role: helping the negotiation of meaning.

Islamic management and ethics is not a new research that has emerged. After the Islamic banking revolution all around the world, a new discussion about streamlining the Islamic ethics and workplace practices have been started and numerous papers have been written. Topics like ethics, management, human resources, employee relations, humanity, structure, tradition and culture have been explored in an Islamic context by many authors. These scholars have discussed different domains of human resource management in contemporary organizations with an Islamic perspective.
